    Please take care of yourself. We seriously appreciate you and everything you've done, same goes for all other staff. This past week has immensely stressful across the lemmyverse and no one blames you at all for needing to tap out from all this. A lot of people are expecting lemmy and lemmy instances to be like reddit 2.0, but that's just not humanly possible. It also feels like lemmy as a software has had it personally out for beehaw... kind of like a murphy's law situation.

    Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.

    Like I said, it will backfire. When people get refused service for MAGA hats or because of being Christian they will throw a fit but they dug the hole for themselves here.

    It’s awful and I agree though. It’s disgusting and the cruelty is the point. But the way this is going to be use against them is going to make things so messy and petty.

    This was to be expected like most other decisions that came out today but still disappointing nonetheless. Only serves to show just how much public confidence for the US surprise court as a viable institution has gone out the window due to how little surprise there is.

    Apologies if this is the wrong community for this! Feel free to delete if it is. Also, this is a big blow to lgbt anti discrimination but it also is a blow to *a lot of others as well* The way this decision is going to backfire and the fact it will be able to applied against not *just* lgbt people has not been thought through, at all.

    This is unreal. She's been accused of years of grooming minors for those unaware. The allegations she's facing as well as those around her is intense, with potential legal consequences in the making. Major content warning to those who seek out articles on the matter, of course. She's had a pretty successful Netflix show, and I believe a Broadway show as well? She's a pretty early OG youtuber. So... she decided to whip out a ukelele and start playing a song for an apology after days of increasingly being under fire. I never thought that a worse Influencer apology would ever be made, but she did it. Apologies if this isn't a good community to post by the way, I just haven't seen any discussion of this on here yet and I just need to bask in just how baffling it is.

    OpenAI-powered app from Microsoft is coming to Epic Systems to help save doctors time
  • gabuwu gabuwu Now 100%

    I'm sorry did I read this shit right? It's coming to what? And doing what? This is the worst possible application. This is going to end up killing someone, especially with the bias that is already extremely prevalent in medicine. I hope Microsoft and Nuance are prepared for the potential of roping themselves into a landmark AI biomedical ethics court case.

    Yep. And (obviously) America is going to one day be forced to come to that same understanding that Germany was painfully forced to. I'm just hopeful it doesn't take a genocide or some sort of dictatorship for a similar reckoning to occur. Germany might not be perfect, but there are many things American society could learn from that exist within modern day German culture especially in regards to cultural reconciliation with historical wrongs. It's hard to really describe how happy it makes me feel that as a Jewish person I can say I would feel very safe and welcome living in and visiting most places in Germany, but it also makes me sad to an immense degree that I can truthfully say I'd probably feel safer most places there than in the most places in the states right now... :(

    Ah I meant lemmynsfw, I thought you were saying that beehaw blocked it which it doesnt show as blocked for me. Is there any reasoning why sopuli blocked lemmynsfw? I never saw any announcement that they did about that and am curious as to why.

    They don't? I thought they did? I don't see it in their banned instance list.

    I think the whole attitude of "oh just block the community and ignore it" really comes from a privilege of not having to deal with the way those communities tend to intersect negatively with vulnerable communities when they were ignored on reddit and the mess that caused. Blocking their biggest communities from your own account does not stop them from giving them the potential to join discussions in bad faith, DMing threats, open up potential doxxings, community brigading, harassment, etc. There comes a point where simply ignoring them does not work as they always try to force their bullshit into communities outside of them and stir trouble if they aren't cut off preemptively. You aren't deplatforming them by defederating them, you are taking away their megaphone and potential to cause real harm those exact communities have shown to do time and time again in the past.

    They are going to cause issues sooner rather than later in communities that don’t defederate from them. It’s quite literally just a given. I’m shocked some of those instances haven’t defederated from them already.

    His videos honestly give off the same vibes as mythbusters and other of those random science tv shows of the mid to late 2000s. I feel like if mythbusters still aired new episodes he would fit right in as a regular guest.

    cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/550147 > Decided to try my hand at color work for the first time in crochet. Dreading weaving it all in at the very end, but it looks so pretty so far. I'm excited to give it to my grandma when it's done, I know she's gonna love it! I plan on doing a fancy white border around once its done.
